phoenix_fire: awesome post, great analysis.

ZNF: I disagree that what you described happens OFTEN (though I had to ignore iclaudius because he liked to agree with my point but debate me based on syntax and grammar points). There is a BIG rift between, for example, people who think guns are the right way to prevent violence vs. those who think they CAUSE violence, people who believe fetuses are humans vs. those who think they're just a parasite inside a woman's body, people who think US military intervention makes us safer vs. those who argue it produces MORE security threats, and so forth.

These aren't just arguments on vernacular--they're patent, utter divergent views based on divergent personal conclusions on morality, existence, and rights.
